Want to replacing a CCTV system with RING

Hi, I have a Ring Doorbell on the Front Door, a Ring Spotlight Camera on the Side Door, and a 4-analog camera CCTV setup hooked into an NVR. The cameras are all hardwired to a 12 volt DC power distribution box. In expectation of swapping out for Ring cameras I replaced the 12 volt DC power supply with a dual 12 volt / 5 volt DC unit so I could feed 5 volts hardwired to any of the four locations as well as 12 volts. My question is: What Ring product should I use to replace the 4 analog cameras? I want to leverage the existing locations since they have power but I want them to be Wifi-enabled as the cabling is that thin pre-made type that can't handle high definition at distance. RussLB

Hi @RussLB. Ring Cameras are not designed to replace a CCTV system, as they don't function like a CCTV system. Ring Cameras are wifi enabled, and will only record when motion is detected or when you activate the Live View. I'd recommend reviewing [this comparison](https://support.ring.com/hc/en-us/articles/115004687606-Comparing-Ring-Security-Cameras) of each Ring Camera, so you can see the features and power requirements of each model.
